shower or thunderstorm but if there is, it would probably be during the tailgating time, not actually during game time. mainly clear skies around the region. just patchy clouds that we've had during the course of the day but i'm watching this band of moisture. notice it's moving more to the east than north so most of it will stay south. but we also have a front up in here. that's how we could get a spot midday or afternoon thunderstorm around the area tomorrow. don't expect anything widespread or severe for a while. clouds come in late tonight especially to the south. where a little shower could nick the south coast or cape toward dawn tomorrow morning. after that, we'll see that move away but as the front approaches that's where a shot shower or thunderstorm could come up. less humid air comes back for thursday night and friday. see how there could be a spot sure or thunderstorm and dissipating by evening and then we get into the comfortable air

the afternoon hours look like they will feature sea breezes, so it will be very comfortable at the beach, very pleasant temperatures, although it will be warm over the interior. i would say the weekend is going to be moderately humid but really not oppressively humid. the next chance of rain looks like it will be coming along about monday. if you're doing some traveling this weekend, just want to let you know how it could shape up. looks nice. sunshine on friday. at least partial sunshine saturday and sunday. you haveke light ocean breeze. it could bring in ocean clouds late nature and early morning especially late saturday night and early sunday morning. in the lakes region and mountains, it looks nice for those three days as well so far, good. the next rain should hold off. >> not bad. thank you, harvey. >> commitment 2016. campaign leadership shake up. the republican presidential nominee donald trump, newscenter 5's sally kidd explains. the move comes as he's trying to
